Awareness of the need to deepen the method and methodology of legal research is only recent. The same is true for comparative law, by nature a more adventurous branch of legal research, which is often something researchers simply do, whenever they look at foreign legal systems to answer one or more of a range of questions about law, whether these questions are doctrinal, economic, sociological, etc. Given the diversity of comparative research projects, the precise contours of the methods employed, or the epistemological issues raised by them, are to a great extent a function of the nature of the research questions asked. As a result, the search for a unique, one-size-fits-all comparative law methodology is unlikely to be fruitful. That however does not make reflection on the method and culture of comparative law meaningless. Mark Van Hoecke has, throughout his career, been interested in many topics, but legal theory, comparative law and methodology of law stand out. Building upon his work, this book brings together a group of leading authors working at the crossroads of these themes: the method and culture of comparative law. With contributions by: Maurice Adams, John Bell, Joxerramon Bengoetxea, Roger Brownsword, SeÃ¡n Patrick Donlan, Rob van Gestel and Hans Micklitz, Patrick Glenn, Jaap Hage, Dirk Heirbaut, Jaakko Husa, Souichirou Kozuka and Luke Nottage, Martin LÃ¶hnig, Susan Millns, Toon Moonen, Francois Ost, Heikki PihlajamÃ¤ki, Geoffrey Samuel, Mathias Siems, JÃ ̧rn Ã ̃yrehagen Sunde, Catherine Valcke and Matthew Grellette, Alain Wijffels.

The enterprise of comparative law is familiar, yet its conceptual whereabouts remain somewhat obscure. Comparing Law: Comparative Law as Reconstruction of Collective Commitments reconstructs comparative law scholarship into a systematic account of comparative law as an autonomous academic discipline. The point of that discipline is neither to harmonize world law, nor to emphasize its cultural diversity, but rather to understand each legal system on its own terms. As the proposed reconstruction exercise involves bridging comparative law and contemporary legal theory, it shows how comparative law and legal theory both stand to benefit from being exposed to each other. At a time when many courses are adding a transnational perspective, Valcke offers a more theoretical, broadened, and refreshed view of comparative law.

This volume contains articles on three areas of family law that, at the dawn of the 21st century, have provoked passionate discussion. The topics of concern include: (compulsory) arrangements regarding children, registration schemes for same-sex couples (new jurisdictions), and the effectiveness of the pater est rule. The book's contributions are preceded by two introductory articles. The historical introduction addresses the 'cultural constraints argument' which, according to a few legal scholars, prevents both spontaneous and deliberate harmonization of family law. Is family law indeed embedded in unique national (legal) culture? What lessons can be learned from the past? The methodological introduction proffers some general ideas as to how comparative family law is perceived and what it should entail whereby a comparison is made between more recent developments in Europe and the United States.

English summary: The influence of the American allies on the creation of the Act against Restraints of Competition is the history of a far-reaching conflict between different ideologies. The American antitrust collided with the Continental European cartel law tradition in Germany after 1945. The allied antitrust policy of the USA was linked closely to the question of German sovereignty and the German economic system. At the same time there was a connection between the German and the European cartel policies, since both of them had been created as a common concept of concurrent decision-makers. Using recently declassified documents from the National Archives in Koblenz, London and Washington D.C., Lisa Murach-Brand examines how various people and powers influenced the creation of the German Act against the Restraints of Competition. German description: Der Einfluss der amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht auf die Entstehung des Gesetzes gegen Wettbewerbsbeschrankungen (GWB) ist die Geschichte eines weitreichenden Konfliktes unterschiedlicher Ideologien. Das amerikanische Antitrustrecht traf nach 1945 in Deutschland auf die kontinentaleuropaische Kartellrechtstradition. Die alliierte Kartellpolitik der USA wurde eng mit der Frage nach deutscher Souveranitat und deutschem Wirtschaftssystem verknupft. Gleichzeitig gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen deutscher und europaischer Kartellpolitik. Beide wurden als gemeinsames Konzept von ubereinstimmenden Entscheidungstragern geschaffen. Wirtschaftliche, rechtliche und politische Erwagungen flossen wie in kaum einem anderen Rechtsgebiet zusammen. Lisa Murach-Brand untersucht an Hand von teilweise bisher noch unveroffentlichten Quellen aus den Bundesarchiven in Koblenz, London und Washington D.C., wie Menschen und Machte auf die Entstehung des GWB eingewirkt haben.
